Are you a creative or entrepreneur that wishes you could speak tech with your web development team? Maybe you wish you could code a bit yourself? In this workshop we'll tackle some development principles to get you on the right path. We'll look at questions like, "Front-end vs. Back-end?", "What is this Javascript function thingy, and why am I passing it strange math equations to it?"

If you're running a tech start-up, it's essential that you familiarise yourself with the fundamentals of web development. Ultimately knowing how to "talk to the talk" will help you communicate better with developers. Come with questions, and a desire to have fun!

Student Takeaways:

Front-end programming vs. back-end programming

Introduction to HTML, CSS and JavaScript
